They still will plug into the odb2 port and check for codes.  
This sounds like an emissions related problem.

If it hasn’t gone 5k miles in the last year you’ll be exempt from that.

I bet that is the issue. If you move the primary into the collector, I bet it would fix the problem since the oxygen sensor is only seeing one tube of exhaust gas.

I could understand the high flow cat causing a problem for the downstream sensor. Rarely is the upstream sensor a problem, it’s just used for closed loop fueling. You’re not running rich or lean are you? Check your O2 wires, make sure the header didn’t burn them anywhere

btw - wtf is p2aoo? is that nissan shit? I can’t find any info on it anywhere
